just be sure to set them to exFAT, right?

How do I make sure they are set to exFAT? So far I have always formatted my cards in the camera. Is there any special I need to do in terms of formatting in order to use ML?

But why would you want to run a card without ML on it? What good does it do without it? It's completely useless.

Why is a card without ML useless? It is still a storage. If the other card (CF) has ML on it - the camera would still be able to record to the SD card although the SD card has no ML on it, right?

If you are feeling vanilla canon then simply do the update firmware/wait 60 seconds/restart cam protocol otherwise.

Sorry, I don't understand this. Could you explain?

@Levas

Thanks for the info. What about question 2?

@DeafEyeJedi

Thanks for the recommendation. However I am not planning to buy any new cards. Currently I have 1xCF 64GB, 1xSD 32GB and 2xSD 256GB. For the moment that is more than enough for me.

So considering that - how would you answer question 3?

Hi,

I am interested in installing ML on my 5D3 mainly because I want to see the real raw histograms on the camera display. As far as I understand from what I read on the site, the ML software stays on the card itself and is not flashed inside camera's built-in memory. I also read that it is possible to format the card without removing ML.

As I am completely new to ML I have some questions:

  • What would happen if the card is removed from the camera? Will it be possible to use another card (without ML on it) with the standard Canon firmware?
  • What if the card with ML gets damaged at certain point in time? (they don't last forever) Will the camera be able to boot? Or is there any danger of making the camera bricked because of a damaged card? If in such situation the camera fails to boot - will it be enough to simply remove the card, i.e. will that boot the original firmware?
  • 5D3 has 2 card slots - SD and CF. I have one CF card and several SD. Should ML be installed on each card? Or will installing it on one card make it possible to write images to any of the cards? Example: If I install ML on the CF card, will I be able to I simply put the next formatted SD card (without ML on it) when the previous one gets filled? Is there any particular setting specifying which card to boot from?

I hope you can clarify this.
Thank you!
